Christ and the Roman Empire Rome was considered one of the largest empires of the ancient world, covering areas throughout the Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, and Asia Minor. Soon after the Punic Wars took place, Emperor Augustus expanded the empire across other regions such as Egypt, Spain...

Hi there, So this is what I would call a clinical diagnosis of backsliding: you had faith, but then a dart of the enemy got through your armor and now you are doing nothing about it. Does that sound about right? The point is that the faith, is simple; it is not the Spirit that separates us...

Reader, If you are a Christian, then this means you were saved in what? Saved in What? ??? What? A.) You were saved IN......... YOUR...........Sins......>"while you were YET.... a sinner". Notice this verse... "Jesus came into the world to save SINNERS".........and why is that? Its...

The apostle John (also known as John the Evangelist) was one of the four gospel writers as well as an author of two other main books, including Revelation and his epistle, that became the final chapters of the New Testament. John covers several areas in his gospel that speak about the life...

Hi there, So I can't discuss this in the non-Christian forum, because I am Christian - but I am really curious? If you were dead in your sins and denied there was a 'god', but the Holy Spirit started to work with you, and you started to think "it would be better if I didn't make up my mind or...

Hi there! So I had the first real connection with the Holy Spirit, right now and I thought "I better share this, or I will miss what's next"! Anyway, what I was thinking was "I'm always thinking of the Cross, with Christ on it" - like that is the default way the image works in my mind. The...

Reader, Notice this verse.. from Romans.... """""and all are justified freely by God's Grace....= through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."" Now, who are the "ALL", who are Justified freely? These are ALL the Born again, who are the "Many shall be made righteous"... as Romans 5...

Sep 17—2025 Written by Matthew Gallagher Uncategorized ”Covenantal Restoration Manifesto” By Gallagher Part 1 A little history for you that I never knew before I saw it right now with you; The view you’ve articulated—Covenantal Restorationism—isn’t a widely established theological system with...

Hi there, So this might open up your thinking about the Holy Spirit: the parable of the Sower, can be interpreted as being about the Holy Spirit. We typically think that the Word of God can be about anything, that there are some who receive it and some who don't. But strictly speaking, the...

Ok right, So this is a very simple observation about how the Gospel is able to be more expertly interpreted, more faithfully delivered. What I am hoping for here, is that you will open your mind up to the idea that there is a true way for the Gospel to be received, that differs for almost...

Hi there, So you would have to have been deaf to the world, not to have heard the phrase "we are saved by Grace, not of works" among Christian circles. However, I want to challenge that. For a long time, I have believed that "a mature Christian, makes work a priority", which is not to say that...

Hi there, So it is a simple thought: the Gospel points to the Gospel, that's the Gospel (selah). But how does it play out? In reality there are many attempts at pointing to the Gospel, but only so many succeed. The rest become distortions of the Gospel, that twist and divert from the Gospel's...

Hi there, So I just want to dwell briefly on the fact that God does not create, such that we suffer on our own, but that God creates knowing He will suffer from His creation suffering. God suffering is why our relationship to Him is so important: without a relationship to God, there is no end...

Hi there, So the Two Witnesses are told "come up here" in Revelation 11:12 (that is, "come to Heaven"). But what are the implications of this? Jesus ascended to Heaven and promised to return. If Jesus ascends and promises to return, how is it that the Two Witnesses - called by a voice in Heaven...

Hi there, So there is a reason you have found eschatology so fascinating, in your walk with Christ - here on these forums! The reason is that prophecy plays a big part of the next phase of life: Heaven. In Heaven, we are not bound to believe in just one kind of prophecy, nor are there so many...

Hi there, So I just wanted to speak a little about being free in the Spirit. The scope of the Spirit's freedom is in the scriptures. It is good to search the scriptures, for this reason. However, it is easy to fall in to the trap of thinking, that specific verses are there "just for you". How...

Hi there, So just thinking on spiritual things, for a little while, I learned something about Babylon (MYSTERY) that I want to share. Now God at some point says "come out of her, lest you share in her sins" but what is it that Babylon "sins"? The answer simply is: she conceals the cross. Why...

Hi there, So yes, this just occurred to me now: we should be praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to all the nations of the Earth - we say by faith in His Name". By doing this, we enter into the labor that is required and fix our sight on the goal - this will make us...

Hi there, So from the title of this thread, you should already be able to work out that they purpose in Heaven is to empower. The joy you get from serving the Lord, is from serving, and while waiting on the Lord serves, the Lord is not always there. If the Lord is not there, you need to be...

......to become a Christian". When Paul stood before Agrippa to testify of the charges brought against him of insurrection because he preached the freedom of the gospel. Agrippa made this statement ALMOST.....thou persuadest me..... Acts 26 Let's look at what persuasion is. To persuade is to...
